Password if you have forgotten them. There are also instructions on this sheet how to retrieve them as well.
 When you have logged back on to the system, you will be prompted to apply for the location and position that you want for this upcoming season, just as you did the first time you applied. Make your preferred selections – but keep in mind that you can only submit ONE application. So apply for the location and position that you are most qualified and most interested in.

Definition of New Users: You are a New User if you have never submitted an application using Trident’s new electronic application system. Even if you have worked for Trident before, if you have not yet completed and electronic application on this new system, then you are a New User.
Our Application system has changed to an all electronic system
 We no longer use paper applications
 To apply, you must first have a private email account, an email account used only by you
 Then you must go online to www.tridentseafoods.com
and submit an application
 After you apply online, you will receive all future information and instructions via email only. Continue to check your email regularly and follow all instructions prompltly.
 You will complete almost all pre-hire steps and forms electronically, online, before report to work.
This will save you a LOT of time on contract signing day, making it smoother for everyone.

You must use a computer that has internet access to complete the application and all future steps in the hiring process. If you do not have a computer, some options available to you:
 Use the computer of a friend, family member, or neighbor
 Use a computer at a local library

You must get assistance to set up an email account, enter your application, and respond to email instructions from Trident – all from a computer. If you do not know how to use a computer, some options available to you:
 Have a trusted friend, family member, or neighbor assist you
 Request assistance from your local Unemployment Office
1. You must have a personal Email Address before you can apply online. Use your own unique email account; do not use an email account that you share with another Trident Employee or Applicant. If you do not already have your own email account, some options available to you:
 You can obtain an email address for free at many sites, including www.hotmail.com
 Other options include Google, Yahoo, or through your Internet Provider

3. If you are selected to continue in the hiring process, you must be able to print a document. But you will not need to print anything in order to complete the first step, which is submitting the application.
 When you go online to apply, you will be setting up an account with Trident. You will be choosing a
Username and a P assword . It is VERY important that you remember both of these because you will need both of them later to complete important hiring steps.
 Your Username must only be used by you. Do not let members of your family, friends, or roommates use the same Trident Username that you are using! Otherwise, both of your accounts that share a
Username will be damaged or deleted.
 If you forgot your Trident Username or Password, our system will email them to you. See the instructions below labeled “What Do I Do If I Forgot My Trident Username or Password?”

 Yes, that’s right…nothing will be done by telephone, fax, or regular mail, so you must memorize your
Trident account information and check your personal email regularly for instructions.
 You should always Log Off of your Trident account when you are done using it to prevent someone from accidentally damaging or deleting your account information. If you share a computer with a family member or friend, you must make sure that the first person logs ALL the way off of their Trident account before the second person logs on to their Trident account.
 You may apply only once each 90 days and your application will be kept for one year

. You MUST apply online prior to attending one of these sessions!

Trident does not have positions available for everyone who applies or who is interviewed. Trident selects applicants who are the best fit for the positions that we have available at that time. If you are not selected, you may re-apply after 90 days.

Congratulations! There are several more steps in the process. At each step, you will be sent an email that tells you what you need to do next and by when this task must be completed.
 It is very important that you check your email often and follow all instructions given to you promptly
 Do not call our office, you will not be given applicant status information over the phone, you will be instructed to check your email and follow the instructions sent to you
 Follow all of the instructions that are emailed to you promptly, in order to remain eligible for employment
 These steps include a Criminal Background Check, A Pre-Employment Drug Test, a Post Hire Healthcare
Questionnaire, and OnBoarding.
OnBoarding is the process that our newly hired Employees will use to complete almost all of their pre-hire paperwork. Once all of your hiring steps are complete and you have been selected for employment, you will receive an OnBoarding email with directions on filling out most of your employment forms electronically, before you report to Seattle for work.
 It is very important that you check your email often to receive your OnBoarding instructions
 Once you receive instructions, from a computer you will click on the link in the email instructions
 This link will take you through the OnBoarding process
 You will be required to Log into your Trident Account. So Again – it is very important that you remember your Trident Username and Password.
 Once you log in to your Trident account, you will view and electronically sign almost all of your preemployment paperwork. This includes forms such as your Employment Agreement, W-4 Tax
Withholding Form, Application Summary, Employment Policies, and others.
 It is important to complete your OnBoarding BEFORE you report to Seattle for work
 Once in Seattle, you will complete your I-9 Form by showing your proper Identification
 We now use an electronic identification verification system, E-Verify, that is directly linked to U.S. government databases. It provides immediate documentation of your Identity and eligibility to work in the U.S. Do not attempt to use false/fake or borrowed identification or you will not be hired.
 Important: If your name on your Social Security record is not 100% accurate, you need to go to the
Social Security Administration immediately and get this corrected PRIOR to reporting for work. Name and social security number mis-matches may prevent you from being sent to Alaska to work.
If you forget your Trident User Name and Password, you can go to our website and we will email this information to you. (instructions below) If you forgot the username or password for your personal email account, you will need to go your email vendor for assistance, not Trident. For example, if you have a Yahoo email account and you forget your Yahoo email account information, you will need to go to Yahoo’s website to get assistance with that.
